My first true parent pleasing byline came out today. TIME. When I told my grandfather this weekend he said he wanted to buy ten copies. The funny part is I’m not sure he has ten people to give it to. And, it’s pretty small. My dad on the other hand wanted to get one copy and drive around to the various houses of my family to show them. Either way, my family will be happy to see my name in a big mainstream magazine. In reality, it is smaller than your thumb. I didn’t mind getting edited down at all. I wasn’t around for last minute questions so I hope that doesn’t hinder me from future assignments.
To get more in TIME I have to come up with the absolute freshest and “funnest” in all things travel. Yes, I know that’s not a legitimate word, but I like it and it should be. For me, the most exciting part was when editor Christopher Farley invited me to pitch.
Ok, enough celebrating. It’s time to keep plugging at the task at hand…Whose Panties are These?

Hey Jen, congrats! This is awesome stuff… I’m gonna have to go out and get me a copy too 
Thanks, everybody! Someone emailed me a scanned photo of the print page and it looks great. There’s a picture of Capri and it’s in a sidebar box so it doesn’t seem as small as I thought it’d be.
